On Saturday 5th March we collected around 30 bags of rubbish during our Clean for the Queen event. We had 23 volunteers who turned up, including Amanda Milling our local MP.

The rubbish collected included a single bed headboard, some builders rubbish, broken glass and a tent as well as general rubbish. Our volunteers wore the visibility vests which were kindly donated to us by Rugeley Power Station.

It seemed fitting to start the event with the National Anthem and to end with afternoon tea. Tescos helped to part fund the refreshments. We had sandwiches, pork pie, crisps, scones with clotted cream and jam.
